The trump world parallels a dictatorship. DT obviously admires the Russian and Chinese presidents and has a grudging respect for the NK president. His introduction of a reality show presidency is the closest he can get to a dictatorship. The constant firing of cabinet members creates a climate of fear like that in the aforementioned countries. Although differences of opinion are not rare in democratic societies they are usually given the honorable option of resigning, probably more so in the UK than the USA, but being dismissed in a tweet must be the ultimate slight in a democracy, probably not as drastic as being shot by an aircraft gun but nevertheless humiliating.

I knew it was just a matter of time. Trump keeps only yes men. It was obvious that after the bromance ended that Rex was willing to stand up to the reality TV star and sonner or later he would be removed. Rex has nothing to be ashamed of. Although I did not like his resume or his ties with Putin he seemed to take his position with more seriousness than the Trump crime family ever has.

It's a significant amount of turnover for the administration, but is it unprecedented? Not really.

Nikki Haley is making a statement on behalf of the U.S. at the U.N.. She's pointing out more than the poisoning; she's accusing the Russians of chemical warfare. (Oh well, we know that Putin will call this fake news. I'm waiting for what our fearless leader has to say).

Edit: It'll make sense if he doesn't make as strong a statement as Haley's. This way Putin will not have to criticize him directly. I guess that Trump Tower Moscow (hotel and casino?) deal would have to be put on hold. It's ironic; if he says the normal things, everyone will say he's being especially presidential.

Yeah. May's a bad mofo. Willing to take out the father and daughter, and then blame it on Putin. Well, she's deterring any more Russian ex-KGB agents from defecting. Though, I heard on the internet that Vlad called Don on the gold phone to assure him that he had nothing to do with it. Still waiting to hear from him.

Maybe too big balls, that's why She finished of that English-spy who used to be a Russian citizen ...A theory as any

Anything is possible.

But like war mongering US I think the last thing the UK wants or needs is conflict with the Russians. Putin is the real chess master. By the UK and the US coming out against and creating a state of war/fear in his country he will get an election boost from Russians saying f*** the USA!

Putin's popularity always gets a boost when the country is in a state of war and not to mention that sanctions give Putin someone else to blame for the fact that the biggest country in the world has an economy the size of Italy. I am convinced that in modern times this is basically what war is used for. Neither the US or Russia give a damn about life in Syria but are there for their country's interests and to win elections by keeping a base in Syria (Russia) and destroying IS (US). But the UK's Theresa May? With the UK leaving the EU I don't see how May will gain anything in fact more than likely with all the fake news online she will lose this one in the long run.
